April 24, 2018, we held the LIVE UNITED Awards at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa. This was the 42nd annual opportunity to honor and recognize the incredible work of volunteers who have made significant contributions to their organizations and our commmunity. All these outstanding volunteers dedicated their time and skills through 2017 in order to make Monterey County a better place for all of its citizens. Special Congratulations to our Award recipients:

Thank you to our fantastic emcee, KION Meteorologist, Dann Cianca, the three co-presenters, Wendy Askew, Judy Guzman-Krueger, and Matt Huerta, and Mayor Clyde Roberson for welcoming all our guests to Monterey and opening the ceremony. We would also like to thank the staff of Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa for their excellent service and venue for hosting our event and to our sponsors - they make this event possible.
